@Guldenbart i'm gonna have to get one of these, are they very challenging to play? or is it like... you can play on one, or you can actually play it good?
@mattastic0 well, its definitely less challenging than playing the drums. But it needs a bit of practice though. If you have some patience and a feel for rhythm it should be no challenge :)
Wow! Amazing man. You are really good. I was just researching Cajon's for a school project, when I saw your video. And this just blew me away. I also learned a little something about the different styles, so, THANKS!
@Mrbuzebuze It´s the MEINL HCAJ1NT CAJON but I would recommend the SCHLAGWERK CP404 cajon - or schlagwerk in general - they are much better for their price (:
hey man, so i jus bought a new cajon and i was wondering if there is certian tuning for it ? cuz mine dont sound anthing like tht. can u message me bk???
since you've got both the meinl and th schlagwerk... what do you think is better?
I would like to get one cause I don't have enough room for a whole kit... I guess it would be nice to have some more percussions in the arsenal, being a songwriter... btw, my stuff is on the rock side.. so maybe take that in consideration when suggesting the cajon : )
oh ok, well how do you learn such good beats? I feel when i play i cant get anything good ha...i feel i just have a lot of random beats together...just take practice or you do anything different?
youre really good...i wish i could play mine like that ha...i got a meinl also, does it help to be in a room that echoes? i cant get quite that good of a sound on mine
These Meinl Cajons just dont have such a perfect sound. The vid sounds pretty okay, because i placed the Mic at the back oh the Cajon, which lets the bass sound better.
hi juanguano. tu make the snare you have to put the 5th of a guitar on the back of your cajon. sorry for my englich but i'm french so it's not very easy for me ^^
Martin Roettger has many interesting videos with good beats on youtube. When I just had got my Cajon I tried too "copy" his rythms. Works very good for getting the right feeling for the box :)
I´ve loosened the upper front screws a bit, the bottom screws are adjusted the way, that the snare sound is as short and "crunchy" as possible. It´s not easy to tune this cajons the right way, but when you got it, it sounds really nice.
Just try out different tunings and find your personal favourite.
My cajon is different (Cayuela) but you can also try taping the snare wire in different ways until the snare is crisp and snappy. If you have tension adjusters then adjust he snare wire so it's not too taught (but not too slack - you'll find the sweet spot with a bit of give & take) then tape in one place. Or two. Or one wide piece. Try it & see what works. Enjoy & good luck.
Please tell me the complete name of this cajon so i can buy the same one, because meinl has a lot of different sort of cajons but this is the best one i've heard.
Look forward to seeing the vids,I'm waiting on another Cajon coming from Germany,I'm mad about them now,I'm going to get enough to build a big wall so the neighbours can't get me,Ha Ha!
I'm gonna be using my Cajon for all the gigs i'm doing over xmas/new year etc,Bye bye Snare Drum,I'll have to change my username to CajonCrazyCraig!
Enjoy your practicing & have a good xmas & new year time!
Wow dude....Awesome groove ya got....this sounds great....mind telling me which one this is...does it have the mic pickup in it? Awesome jam dude...God Bless
Oh man you should check it out, try searching it on you tube. Its not a negative response or anything, I actually rather enjoyed it. I was just putting my two cents in on good 'ol you tube lol.
Nice playing on a cajon made in China. What a bummer now a days even cajones are being made there. This cajones luck the bass sound, and the reason to it is because the heads are too thick and rigid to give that nice bass that a flamenco cajon has.
AWESOME!!
